Write an inequality that matches this statement: In the football game last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers scored 45 points. The Miami Dolphins did not score as much as the
Steelers.

y < 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Pittsburgh Steelers scored 45 points.

The Miami Dolphins will be represented by a variable y.

y scored less than 45 points.

y is less than 45

y < 45

step-by-step explanation:

d

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:
